About this Object Object Name: Veil Nebula, NGC 6960, Cygnus Loop Object Description: Supernova Remnant Position (J2000.0): RA: 20h 45m 40s Dec: +30° 58' 30" Constellation: Cygnus Distance: 2,100 light-years (640 parsecs) About the Data Data Description: The image of the Veil Nebula was created from Hubble data from proposals 14056: Hubble Heritage Team, PI: Z. Levay, M. Mutchler, J. Mack, S. Meyett, L. Frattare, C. Christian, J. Green, and M. Livio (STScI/AURA), and K. Noll (NASA/GSFC). Special thanks to W. Blair (JHU/STScI) and S. Porter (JHU) for their contributions. Instrument: WFC3/UVIS Filters: F502N ([O III]), F657N (H-alpha+[N II]), F673N ([S II]), F555W (V), and F814W (I) Dates: April 14 - 17, 2015 About this Image Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA) Release Date: September 24, 2015 Colors: This image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3/UVIS instrument. Several filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: F502N ([O III]) blue F657N (H-alpha+[N II]) red F673N ([S II]) green F555W (V) blue F814W (I) red Orientation/Scale:
